The Men Who Stare at Goats seems to be a movie devoted entirely to George Clooney's mustache and Army dudes trying to hypnotize farm animals. Or something. (Sweet "More Than a Feeling" use in the trailer, though.) But the flick did get us thinking about the goats who have meandered into our lives, looking for tin cans to munch on. Here are our six favorites...

 

6. Goat Boy

 

Jim Breuer's most "popular" SNL character was a polarizing one at best, but his sheer randomness (half-goat/half-human hybrid who hosted an '80s remembrance show) was pretty awesome. And he was funnier than Breuer's Joe Pesci.

 

5. Bill the Goat

 

Is the Naval Academy's football team any good? We'd be shocked if they weren't, seeing as how their mascot should instill fear in any opposing team. Fun fact: Goats at sea actually date back centuries, as they were brought on board to eat garbage and return milk and butter. Bad idea to try and milk this guy, though.

 

4. Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks (Dragnet)

 

1987's Dragnet movie was an entertaining romp that took a really weird turn once it was revealed that the bad guys were pagans intent on sacrificing a virgin. Still, the sight of Dr. Ray Stantz and the guy from Big dressed as symbolic goats was a high point.

Plus, they made this:

 

 

3. Jimmy (The Andy Griffith Show)

 

In a classic episode, Cy Hudgins' pet goat eats an entire box of dynamite, scaring the townsfolk of Mayberry into thinking he'll "blow up real good" at the drop of a hat. In the end, Barney has to lure Jimmy out of town by playing the role of a Pied Piper with a harmonica. Why don't they make TV shows like this anymore?

 

2. LL Cool J

 

For a while LL was referring to himself as "The G.O.A.T." (The Greatest of All Time); even though he made it the title of a No. 1 album in 2000, the moniker never quite took off. It just didn't have the same ring to it as "HOVA," we suppose.

 

1. The Goat Who Yells Like a Dude

 

He's a YouTube sensation for a reason, people.
